This year in music wasn\u2019t always <\/b>dominated by its biggest stars. Sure, Bad Bunny<\/a> and Lady Gaga<\/a> dropped epic Grammy-nominated albums that honored their roots. And yes, Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d became another commercial success<\/a> for the pop icon.<\/p>\n

But most of the works that truly punctuated the landscape of popular music this year were created by upstarts (Olivia Dean, Dijon, Addison Rae) or veterans experiencing a rebirth (Kehlani, Clipse). <\/p>\n<\/article>\n
